Some great advice I got

[amadeus]

Highlander’s advice is completely irresponsible and irrational as usual. All you have to do is read some of his rants to see that he’s not wrapped too tight so please take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Most level headed and experienced hair loss veterans on this forum would say that the original advice that you were given is extremely reasonable. When you are in your early or mid twenties, rational thinking can sometimes go out the window in hopes of finding a quick fix to whatever ails us. There are thousands of men who regret having hair transplants early in their hair loss process for various reasons and many will say that they were too immature at the time to deal with the entire process, and it only caused them more pain in the end. Once you reach a certain age your thought process changes. If you’re still concerned about your hair loss in your later twenties or early thirties then hair transplantation will still be an option for you, but rushing into it because you think that you won’t have a productive happy life without having a hair transplant is something you might regret in the future.

Thank you Amadeus for your advice...I will admit, I am confused because I would like more hair on top, but your note on HT regret is a very important one indeed.

You’re welcome. Hair loss is tough on everybody who deals with it, but the potential of making your situation worse, especially if you are in a relatively early stage in your hair loss is a very real. Highlander is extreme in his thinking on many levels so it’s probably best to to look at his posts as “how not to handle hair loss.”

I'm going to make a post on my logic behind this. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong.

I think that is good advice for the reasons stated. At 30, you are more mature and informed.

Besides, by the time you're thirty there will be better treatments almost certainly.

It's called "having your cake and eating it too", and it's what I plan on doing.

Don't let the NW7's fool you. There are a huge amount of slick bald, fat haters on this website that subconsiously don't want other people being more aesthetic or having more hair than them. The kind that talk about "youthful hairlines on older people looking weird".

Pathetic.

he does have a point.
